[Games] Re: Rachel Shaina's Keep Up Yourself Congrats Round 3
Surname: Northam
DH: Joseph William (b. 6/5/1880) [30]
DW: Grace Elizabeth (b. 3/31/1882) [28]
DS: Jack William (b. 7/23/1900) [10]
DS: James Alexander (b. 10/7/1901) [9]
DS: David Henry (b. 1/13/1903) [7]
DS: Benjamin Robert (b. 4/4/1907) [3]
DD: Lillian Violet (b. 11/27/1909) [1]Even though the doctor had told them that Grace would most likely be unable to conceive again, the Northams decided to try for another baby anyway. For four years they suffered through disappointment, and were about ready to give up when Grace miraculously got pregnant. She and Joseph welcomed their fourth son, Benjamin, in April 1907. Then in 1909, shortly after Benjamin's second birthday, Grace discovered that she was pregnant again. The Northams were overjoyed when Lillian Violet was born. Being the baby of the family and the only girl, she was naturally doted upon by her father and brothers. To accommodate the growing brood, Joseph moved the family into a bigger house on Beacon Hill.In more tragic news, Joseph's youngest sister, Clara, then only 24, was killed when a wildfire raged through northeastern Washington where she and her family were vacationing. She, her husband, and their two young children perished. They were brought back to Boston to be buried. Joseph still hasn't quite gotten over the loss.
